Very honest and hardworking 
She care of me like I’m her own mother very caring and professional. She took care of me almost 3 years. She impressed me with the ability to solve problems. I would recommend her recommend her a 100%

She is very knowledgeable and conscientious and does a great job communicating with doctors. 

Reliable, formed a bond with my mother. Treated our mother as if she were her own family. 

I like the way Maria treated my mom.  She treated her like she was her own mother, loving and caring.  And my mother loved Maria.  Maria did daily exercises with my mom, challenging games and took her to doctor appts and little excursions for yogurt. She cooked, cleaned, made her bed and did laundry.  She is very hard working. Maria was a good friend to my mom as and I highly recommend Maria!!

Maria is an excellent caregiver and I give her my highest recommendation!  She cared for my husband who had Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's dementia for four years.  He was a very complex patient both physically and mentally.  Maria was able to push him when he needed it and back off when he needed it.  She is knowledgeable in all aspects of care and medication management.  I would not hesitate to hire Maria again.

Maria is a very senior caregiver, very professional and extremely good with my sister-in-law.

I have known Maria for over 5 years and she has helped care for my mom who suffers from dementia since then. She is great at cooking, cleaning, and caring for elders. She is always a pleasure to have around.

Very trustworthy knowledgeable and conscientious. Took care our mother during serious Alzheimer's episode lasting two years. Has wonderful way with seniors and understands how to make them comfortable. Maria is truly one of a kind. We all grew to trust and love her as part of our family.

Maria cared for my 86 year old home bound mother part time for 10 months. She is wonderful in so many ways. Compassionate, intelligent, honest, prompt, a good communicator and motivator. She has always treated my mother with kindness and respect. A true professional. Highly Organized and reliable with a solid work ethic. Very knowledgeable on senior care. She has amazing energy; organizing the medication doses each week, breathing treatments, physical therapy exercises, thorough housekeeping as well as ADL's. I live far away and it was truly a comfort to know that Maria would be there. My mother loves her like a daughter.  In short, you can rest assured, your loved one will be in good hands with Maria.

Maria assisted my 85-yr old father starting in September 2017, four days a week, 4-5 hrs each visit after a massive stroke. She routinely worked on Speech Therapy and Physical Therapy exercises with much success. At first, he was skeptical but together they worked on successful progress. Maria took Dad to his Kaiser weekly ST appointments, and all other numerous medical appointments. She made all appointments based on their schedules with the nearby Senior Center for physical activities. She took care of meds (filling weekly pill box and purchasing). She took his BP upon arrival and before she left so we can monitor his diet, sleep and stress. Maria was very thorough with daily reports she sent at the end of each week because I live in San Diego. She also drew up her own ST exercises/homework for him to do when she wasn't present. Sadly, it was time to move Dad to San Diego after nine months of Maria's care and attention because a large two-story house by himself was too much. I highly recommend Maria!

Maria is very passionate about her work and is dedicated in assisting her clients daily needs. She strives to provide quality care and rehabilitation for all levels of the patients ability. I hired Maria to provide speech, physical, and occupational therapy for my 75 year old father after he had a stroke that impaired his ability to function normal daily needs. Maria provided transportation services to outpatient therapy appointments and doctor visits all the while keeping a daily journal of detailed progress and activities she conducted while caring for my father. She is definitely a fantastic caregiver for a patient.

She is extremely caring and giving. Her knowledge of physical therapy is exceptional. She interacts with her clients in a positive way. She was always willing and able to go that extra mile for us. 
I would hire Maria again in a heart beat for anyone in our family including myself. 

Maria took great care of my mother until she passed away due to complications with Parkinson's disease. Her duties included bathing her, dressing her, preparing  her meals, and ensuring she would take her medicines and don't miss her medical appointments.
